Quality Horse Barns and Horse Stable Builders

Wick Buildings provides a full range of building services for horse barns, from the largest horse arena to small horse stables to run-in sheds.

As a leader in equestrian facility planning and construction, our buildings incorporate the latest design and technology for horse and human comfort and convenience.

Horse arenas: Indoor riding & training facilities

Wick Buildings specializes in open spaces up to 100 feet – ideal for large equestrian riding arenas and training facilities. Wick can also incorporate great features into the design such as lounges, viewing rooms and clubhouses with laundry and kitchens.

Custom horse barns

Planning on some second-story living quarters? Want to incorporate a viewing room into that arena? Would you like power-vented cupolas that bring in fresh air based on temperatures or humidity levels? Our custom barns for horses will meet all your needs.

Horse run-in sheds

When your horse is turned out on pasture, an affordable run-in shed provides comfort-enhancing shelter from rain, snow, and wind, plus shade from the sun in summer. Wick Buildings has several standard sizes and designs to choose from or you can design your own based on your specific needs.

Small horse barns

Smaller horse barns are for people that have 2-4 horses and not a lot of property. They are perfect when you just want stalls and not an integrated indoor riding facility. Typically, small horse barns include:

• 2-4 stalls
• Wash stall or area
• Storage space for feed/bedding
• Tack room or area

The actual size of a small horse barn depends on the number of horses you have and how you want to care for them. You may choose to have a large run-in or overhang area that provides sun/weather protection too.

Horse barns with living quarters

Many horse owners look for a horse barn with living quarters in which a structure is attached to an arena or stable that has home-type rooms. The types of living quarters will largely be dependent on the building code, but we can build all the features of a classic home, including a living room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms.

Horse barn doors and windows

Horse barn access doors typically run from 10 to 14 feet in height, though they could be higher if also used for equipment access. Doors may be 8 feet wide or more. Split-sliders could be as much as 16 feet wide. There are also smaller Dutch doors used for exterior access to individual stalls. The type of horse barn doors you choose depends primarily on its function.

Interior arena access doors. Typically large slide doors but may also be overhead doors that slide up to the ceiling due to space constraints.

Exterior arena access doors. Typically large slide doors on the exterior of the building.

Interior stall doors. Integrated into the stall design. The stall supplier may have several hardware options to choose from.

Exterior stall doors. Usually Dutch doors are often split so that the upper part provides ventilation for the stall and barn. Some include grates and some are open.

Dutch windows. When there is not a Dutch door, barns often incorporate windows into each stall to provide ventilation. Like the doors, some include grates and some are open.

Wide range of horse stalls

The number of stalls you choose is based on your needs and space limitations. Stall sizes are typically 10’ x 12’, or 12’ x 12’. Configurations include:

• 2-stall horse barn
• 3-stall horse barn
• 4-stall horse barn
• 6-stall horse barn

Luxury horse barns

Luxury horse barns can include a wide range of features, such as:

• Observation room/lounge
• Utility room
• Tack room
• Washroom/stall
• Cross tie areas
• Sleeping quarters
• Offices
• Bathroom with shower

Multiple options to choose from

You can choose from a wide range of horse barn features, including:

• Windows
• Cupolas
• Decorative or functional dormers
• Overhangs and open leans
• Porches and gable entry

Durable Materials in Every Horse Barn

Wick buildings are constructed using the finest materials, including:

Reliable, high-quality lumber. We only use machine graded or machine evaluated lumber for all structural components.

Durable steel and paint. We use full-hard steel, with 80,000 PSI hardness or better. This results in less dents. Our exterior steel is G-90 galvanized for better corrosion protection. And our paint is warrantied not to chip or crack for 40 years.

Horse Barn Costs Matched to Your Specifications

All building costs are generated for you prior to construction, based on your building specification. The costs of a building will involve the following, and will vary based on each project:

Permitting
Excavation, fill and other site preparation
Design, materials and labor for the building structure
Local subcontracted materials to finish interior/exterior if not part of the Wick package

You understand that barndominium/shouse pricing is comparable to studwall home construction, particularly those with traditional 2-3 car garages and basements. Interior finishes are the same in either building type, and the advantages of a barndominium/shouse largely go away when the garage/shop space is modest and a basement is required. In many cases, you can expect to pay the same as studwall construction (i.e., somewhere between $175 - $250 per square foot depending on your market).
You want an attached garage and/or shop space > standard 2-3 car garage (i.e., > 1,200 square feet). Using post-frame building design, a barndominium/shouse is able to create large usable spaces cost-effectively in ways that traditional studwall construction cannot.
You like the aesthetic of steel (for the roof and sidewalls) typically used in a barndominium/shouse. Alternate materials may be used on the exterior, but they add cost.
You are comfortable using a concrete floating slab (or equivalent) to meet your foundation needs. A barndominium/shouse can be built on nearly any concrete foundation, including traditional basements. However, traditional basements are not necessary with a barndominium/shouse and having one increases cost.
You want to do some of the interior work yourself (such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fixtures), or you want to be the general contractor for that scope of work. While some builders will do full turnkey projects, most prefer to perform work through completion of the building shell.
